Movie Box now on Android

Right guys n gals, Movie Box is without doubt the best reason to jailbreak your IOS device and now it has landed on Android (well kind of).Currently only showing TV shows but hopefully movies coming soon.Link in 1st page to Movie Box twitter and follow the link to theAPK file (dont think mods will allow direct link)

well got a nice list of tv shows to watch but not been able to watch any of them, seems a bit pants

Could be your ISP blocking it, get round it by using a VPN, there are free ones out there and it's simple to set up.

Thanks. Works brilliantly for me. Nice one.

Tried this on your touchpad? Won't play on mine.

Anything like this still exist for xbmc?

Cheers, worked for me, going to watch Revolution now

Cheers for the compliment but i wish i was that smart to do this kind of stuff.Movie Box saved me from downloading all kinds of crap films and tv shows for the wife, so for me (and the wife) it is the best reason to jailbreak.

Sancho, it's working on my touchpad, i'm still on CM9 though (build date 16/08/12) don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I discovered Mbox today but it's very hit and miss like the server is going on and off. Got Show Box a few hours ago and not failed yet.

It's funny that the link is to an app called showbox. There is also an app called moviebox on Play store. So is this safe to use?

Simply movies for xbmc, works a treat

From experience I would say if you find an app like this get "App-backup-and restore" or some such so you have a copy of it that can't disappear overnight from your device because Play can do that. Also email yourself it so it's on the cloud;-)

Can't remember what mine is, pretty sure it's newer than that. It gets to the video, looks like it will play, looks like it's loading the video in the time bar at the bottom but doesn't play. If I drag the slider I get a still of the relevant part, but still no video.

Works on my phone perfectly though, and I found the xbmc add on so thanks.

Sky blocked movie box and still do now and again, if the wife wants to watch something, she just waits abouts 10 minutes and it was fine for a few hours. If i wanted to watch something whilst blocked, i would use freevpn then disable it when i was finished with it.

31st Aug 2013

When I try and watch something now it opens my browser with a 404 Not Found page.Is it borked or do I need to use a VPN?If I need to use a VPN, how do I do that?

Anyone?

31st Aug 2013

Just free vpn herehttp://www.justfreevpn.com/]Take a note of the codeFollow the set up guide hereYour text here

Code only lasts 6 hours at a time (not the time when set up, it's when they put it up)

*****DO NOT ACCESS ANY IMPORTANT INFO WHEN CONNECTED TO A FREE VPN*****

Go to “Settings” on your mobile phone, and select “Wireless Controls"; Select “VPN settings”; Select “Add VPN”; Select “Add PPTP VPN”; Set “VPN name” as “xx.justfreevpn.com”; Set “VPN server” as “xx.justfreevpn.com”; Click “Connect” now; Once there is a small key-like icon on the left side of your notification bar, your android device is connected to the VPN.

The app just hangs and crashes

Since installing the google play version (which is the same as the drop box link) streaming over 3G seems to work! Could just be a coincidence

Amazing selection of shows!Seems to work OK on nexus 4 over 3g and WiFi(virgin)

How do they get all the shows? Is it illegal?

What's the best way to get this on a TV? Android stick thing or is there something easier/better?Thanks all

Don't worry about the legalities over it, no one will come knocking on your door. Worst thing that could happen is Google Play take it down but the apk file is out there to be downloaded.

Well it works fine on xbmc. So in theory a Raspberry Pi would work, but I haven't got one set up to test it.

Guessing you have the Nexus 4, and I don't think it supports MHL but SlimPort instead. It basically allows you to plug in a HDMI into the charger port of your phone, and it uses your tv like its screen.

Anyone know of a cheap Slimport supplier? Amazon seems to want £20-£30 for them which is pretty rediculous compared to MHL!

Edit* tbh, I've avoided doing any media tampering over the past month or so as I'm hoping the Chromecast will be announced for UK release next week, which may completely change media consumption in my household.

thanks for that, think i'd seen that that was possible, but would prefer not to have to plug the phone in, seems a bit of a mess around. will keep an eye out for the chomecast dongle too, but would only be interested if it allowed local media streaming too

now it wont play anything unless i use a VPN (nexus 4 on '3')yesterday was working fine without.

not even sure what what a vpn does/what the security risks are?just followed the instructions on justfreevpn, the uk vpn server wouldn't connect, only the us one

If you spend a decent amount of time watching Movies and TV shows, this is the BEST app around.I have it on my Jailbroken iPhone and use it most days. Brilliant to airplay to my Apple TV and saves me time downloading stuff.

No need for Netflix and all the others. This has almost all of the most popular movies and TV shows.It is illegal... All the files are hosted in russia, and no royalties are paid to any of the people involved in the film/TV show production, but if you can live with that, you won't regret it.

Some ISPs will block access to the content, but that's the fault of the ISP, not the app.
